Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
I thought it was an anti-drug message; "Just say na." Happiness is a warm gun, @thecarpathian .

I love The Beatles, but a guy can take only so many 'Na na na na's...' I believe that those "na na na's" at the end were intended to simulate the rush as the heroin started to take effect.

You want mindless and repetitive, 'Hey Jude' Music for those who want to carry around someone else's jock-strap?

Symphonic music has always affected me like nails on a chalk board.  I bet they were using Karajan Mahler 6 as a form of torture at Abu Graib.    Prolonged exposure to that nonsense would have broke anyone.

My agreeing on Springsteen is actually my error in the spirit of this thread.  I can certainly listen to his songs without turning them off. I just don't understand the cult following and mega-stardom. Same with the Grateful Dead. But that's pr...

I think we should put both of them in a room and make them listen to "The Long and Winding Road" on an endless loop for all Eternity. Either that or force Scabby Road on me, @spin4cards ; pure torture.

My point being, I guess, about the ability to disassociate the art from the artist. @devinplombier , I have appreciated Sprinsteen’s truly massive amount of musical talent and song writing ability LONG before I knew of his political ideology an...

This is for the Dylan fans out there. Have you ever tried to sing one of his songs? Not as easy as you may think. Wy yes, @spin4cards ; yes I have.

Kansas, Rush, Journey, Boston....you get the idea. I get nauseous just thinking about that bunch of "musical groups."

Also, any of this modern day so called female jazz singers who couldn't carry Ella's, Peggy's or even Doris Day's jock strap It's unusul, but I have to agree with @thecarpathian on this one and wonder why these ladies would need an athletic sup...

I guess Alice Cooper is still performing, but it is not music that is being performed by him.  He's also on the list.  
"Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question)
@khloebo , from reading your posts I have no doubt that you are way more tech savvy than I am (and in case that sounds like it might be snark, I am totally sincere) and I didn’t put as much science and knowledge into the comparisons that formed my... 
How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room?
Thanks for the info on that, @deep_333 .  I see some on ebay for under 1k.  I think that this looks like this sub might be a good replacement for my ancient behemoth M&K.
